Obviously another smart design which nobody else thought of. Not sure about the lack of gears, but I guess the push-pull action gives a bit more flexibility than a typical bike pedalling action.

There is a side-on photo in this month's Tour magazine. According to the article my understanding was that he thinks the bike could break the record without a fairing. I think that's unlikely, but I think Obree stands a good chance with his innovations, legs and lungs plus a fairing.

At those speeds a super low CdA fairing is essential.The power requirements to break the record are not crazy numbers; producing them in the required position, inside a tight, hot shell while staying upright is likely a bit harder.

Nice! Upper body strength is a requirement.The position is optimal for flat roads.Maybe a fender on the front wheel when training in the streets?

The weight is heavy. Anyone one know the weight. What is the weight limit for the bike to break a hour record.

I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree

I'm a big Graeme fan but this is definitely not a purely original idea:
